Welcome Matt!

I'm a pre-1700 gamer so not much use on your interest area but anything in 10mm is great.

Incidentally, is you first language American?  I do hope so. ;)

Hello Matt

If you're interested in Sudan you could do worse than look at the remake of the Sands Of Sudan rules spread through the With Pyjamas in the Desert blog https://withpyjamasthroughthedessert.blogspot.com/2013/06/peter-gilders-sands-of-sudan-rules.html. They are cooperative/solo rules based on the 'Pony Wars' rules. Lot of fun

Cheers

That's exactly what I am doing with my Sands of Sudan Project.

Colonial period a fine choice! I play a lot of "The Men Who Would be Kings" from Osprey (  :-$ in a larger scale - I wish, with hindsight, I had committed to 6 or 10mm)

My manager was messing about with a quiz function on our new intranet. She set up a question which had a picture of an M18 on it. The question was "what kind of tank is this?" Obviously, having watched the Chieftain's history of the US Tank Destroyer force, I was able not only to disabuse her of the notion that the M18 was a tank, but also gave her a concise origin story and description of usage. 



She won't try that again.


Anyway, long story short, I'm a M10 man myself.  If it was good enough for Otto Skorzeny, it is good enough for me!

Yeah, M10s are cool too. I kinda like both though.  :D

Welcome Mr Sawyer, a fine name from your part of the World. An Ironic introduction with a former Colonial interested in Colonial Warfare, I think we may enjoy the company. There is normality in the madness here, the insanity is refreshing.
